Long-term Assistance and Services for Research (LASER) will leverage and support international university networks, inclusive of universities from both the United States (U.S) and lower-middle income countries (LMIC), to undertake novel and innovative development research, collaborate with Missions and local actors to design and undertake research projects, and create connections that accelerate the uptake of research outputs by development actors and policy makers. The resulting LASER network will not only generate new knowledge for USAID, but also initiate long term, sustainable collaborations between U.S. and developing country institutions that are characterized by equitable university partnerships. Services this mechanism will provide: Co-creation and implementation of research activitiesResearch design, primary data collection and analysis; Technical reports with potential for USAID co-authorshipTranslation of research findings into policy and program relevant recommendations; Academic-style program evaluation (answers a sector relevant, hypothesis-driven question); Sustained engagement with research faculty.

Districts, regions and facilities the program's own documents name, with what the document says it did there. Source: sentences in the program's documents
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: district; squares are facilities.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: global. Set by the countries the program's documents name most often. High confidence.
How sure we are: 1.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
